Prove you read it
The Vread challenge: 6 checkpoints
- Checkpoint 1, page 43
- Checkpoint 2, page 85
- Checkpoint 3, page 128
- Checkpoint 4, page 171
- Checkpoint 5, page 213
- Checkpoint 6, page 256
In Vread, The Psychology of Money is split into 6 checkpoints, one every 43 pages or so. At each checkpoint, a question covers the passage you have just read: a correct answer validates the step, and your progress moves forward like a training plan.
The challenge: validate all 6 checkpoints through to the last page. No giant quiz at the end, no summary to copy out: short questions along the way that prove the book was actually read. It also works as a reading quiz to check your understanding before a test.
Also available in French on Vread.
